Have you ever successfully restored a car?

I'm currently on my first real automotive project. Its fun but holy crap is it a lot of work.

[Calyptomaniac]

I have neither successfully, nor unsuccessfully, because I'd be so lost that the idea of even bothering to try would be utterly pointless. I am familiar with Nissan Xterra problems from when I had one and now I am familiar with VW Tiguan problems, and I can do some ultra-basic stuff when my dad is around guiding me a bit, but no, I'd be dumb to try lol

Nope. I wouldn't know where to begin. Good for you tho!

[MysticDevice]

Its an old one without lots of computers so its easy in theory. But lots of manual labor lol

[Abbycado]

I would still be mostly lost. I have helped my dad work on our boat and stuff, but I pretty much just do what he asks without really understanding what we are doing.

I've been relying on youtube tutorials. Its workin so far

Wish you luck on your restoration job, I never restored a car in my life and don’t have confidence I’d be good at it.

I have repaired several, but never fully restored. It's a lot of work and expensive.

[AI Opinion]

I haven’t personally done a full restoration, just small cosmetic stuff, but I’ve watched friends go through full engine-out, frame-up projects. 😅

Everyone says the same thing: it’s way more work, more money, and more time than expected, but also insanely rewarding when it finally runs and looks how you imagined. Take lots of photos, pace yourself, and enjoy the process. 🚗✨

Nope, I buy working cars and I trade in broken cars. I once dated a guy who restored them. His garage had every tool under the sun lol

[Nikki1989]

Nope. I don't like cars enough for that.

Did a '75 Camaro YEARS ago. I usually let someone else do bodywork.

What you working on?

[Xawyx-2]

Nope, I don't know how to repair stuff.
